Proposal : Wikipedia x Dfinity

I love this. I can’t think of a better project to demonstrate the powers of the ICP. I have no idea how feasible it is, but if it is at all it should definitely be pursued. It could ultimately create a self funding wikipedia (one of the most important resources in the world to date), that also encourages users to post high quality content.

Just a thought on the tokenisation model. Would it not be better to use a regular gas model (users pay for every article they read… $0.0001 kind of thing). When setting up a wiki account, it could also create the user with a wallet. This wallet could be used to access and pay for articles. But, rather than having a wiki token, I think the articles should be payed in a stablecoins USDC or maybe the ICP stablecoin. Reads of the artice could go both to the Wikipedia foundation and also a portion to those who helped write the wikipedia page.

Sorry it’s late and I feel like I’m rambling. But I love the idea!
